Have others decided to keep using their EF lenses on RF mount cameras? I have decided so far, might for a long time. I'm not sure I can justify the price for slight increase in focus accuracy and photo quality.

I primarily use 70-200 IS II 2.8, 24-70 II 2.8, 135mm 2.0. I mostly shoot events where IS does not help. I might even buy more EF lenses.

For people that have upgraded these lenses from EF to RF:

  • Did you notice increase focus accuracy?
  • Notice increase in photo quality?
  • Have any other comments?

Thanks,

My favorite RF lens is not even the topnotch one, it's the RF24mm f/1.8 IS STM. Other than that, I am EF lenses that work like a dream on my R6Mii and R7, especially the EF50mm 1.2, the EF100-400mm 2, and the EF16-35mm.

Do I wish there are native RF equivalents in the same price range? Of course. Until then, the EF lenses gets the job done.
